Does anyone own a Pocket Bike?

I may be living in a cave but I keep getting directory submissions for pocket bikes. Does anyone own one of these? They definately don't seem like you could drive them on a real road (safely anyway). I would love to hear from someone that has ridden one.

The site that I saw it from originally was www.ashleysboutique.com . What struck me as funny as they sell purses, watches, and pocket bikes lol

 

No but we sell them!

 

I had a go on a trials one of those before.

'twas great fun if not a little difficult to balance.

 

Never been on one, but I see them in Holland all the time.

 

The Blata's we sell go up to 37 Mph. Being just inches from the ground should make it a scary ordeal if you ask me!

MELLA don't you fancy a 4.2 HP throbbing 95cm unit between your legs? Up and running in a split second and goes on for hours on just a small tank full!

 

That sounds remarkably like me

 

I assume you don't stock them but drop ship them. There must be a ton of companies that do this. The example I gave above was funny because its completely unrelated and I picture them with a shelf of Gucci Bags, a shelf of Loiuie Pretensious bags, and a shelf of pocketbikes

 

Yup, direct despatch from the importer. We did have one here in the office but didn't ride it.

 

And if I wanted one here in Ireland, would I get a ticket the second I played around with it on a public road? Is it for parking lots only?

I wish I had one to try.

 

The official story is that you're only allowed to use them on private ground. We ship them to Ireland. I prefer the mini motards myself (small dirt bikes) for their looks (and because we're #1 world wide for them).

 

Except I'm 6'1" and 200 lbs so I will probably look like a Major Retard on my Minor Motard

This girl looks ridiculous on it, I can't imagine what I would look like




How much would it cost including shipping to Ireland T0PS?

 

They are £495 free mainland delivery. For you I'll leave it at that.

We only sell the highest quality brand, Blata. None of the cheap Chinese imports which don't have good service options.

 

So what's the smallest thing you can drive on a public road?
(And lightest)

Maybe I could have one in my luggage and speed off from the airport on it!

 

Some monkey bikes are legal I believe.

I se one drive past my house most days and it has a numberplate so I guess it's allowed.

 

Monkey bikes? Mmmmmmmmmmmm...doesn't seem to fit me!

 

WOW! They do exist! I thought your were taking the 'monkey' out of me!

 

From what I hear about the laws in the states is smaller than 50 cc is legal as a bicycle. That is why so many are made 49 cc or 49.5 cc. 50cc and up you would have to get licensed and would have to have the legal requirements of a motor cycle. Which in some states means a helmet by law.

 

Thanks debunked!

And in the UK? I use London airports very often...

 

I would at least stay off the runway...I doubt you would stand up to a 747 on one of those things

 

, maybe to catch the flight I just missed at the gate !
